NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Tuesday that it’s unclear when Ukraine will receive its long-awaited F-16 fighter jets, saying that Western allies are working hard to get Kyiv’s pilots up-to-speed on the modern aircraft.
“It’s impossible to say exactly when because it’s a dilemma,” Stoltenberg told Radio Liberty. “We all want the F-16s to be there as soon as possible.”
This is a rather strange article. I was under the impression they were already vipers in Ukraine waiting on the pilots unless he’s talking about the supply chain, but who knows.
I expect f-16s to be flying in the next 3 months
Take the time, train everyone properly and get them into the Duffy at full effect. Done right this can really blow some major fire into the Russian forces… done poorly and they’ll scupper the benefit of surprise from their first major use.
Ukraine has shown to be very savvy in use of gifted equipment, they’ll do their best to avoid wasting the potential here!
